SET CURRICULUM PARKOUR COURSE
In this 4 part course, students will engage in structured weekly Parkour/ Freerunning sessions as part of a group environment of no more than 15.
The course is broken down in to 4 levels. Starting at Level 1, participants will work on largely ground level basics, getting to grips with the history of Parkour along with cultural understanding and safety elements. This is the ideal course for anyone wanting to take the sport seriously.
With a downloadable syllabus on request, you can view the curriculum at home and keep track of progress. This is a rolling course so you may join at anytime, providing there is space.
Assessment is done during every class to avoid unnecessary stress around grading. When a student is nearing an 80% pass rate on the coaches records, we will start to discuss the next Level.

Frequently asked questions
Parkour, also known as Freerunning, or "art du deplacement" is an urban activity, that started in the suburbs of France. It is a training method based on the principles of using your body in an environment, to get from A-B efficiently and effectively. The concept behind the training practise was to be strong and to be useful in all situations , and able to adapt to different environments.We use skills such as climbing, traversing, vaulting, jumping and swinging as fundamentals, and over the years lots of different practises such as acrobatics and more creative movements have come into the sport. Nowadays the practise is a big mix bag of different urban arts , with activities like buildering, tricking, breakdance being thrown in to create a very expressive activity.
A. Parkour/freerunning is an activity that develops our fitness and strength through challenges. Along with the development of skills and techniques our level of fitness follows. If you do have any medical or health condition it would be advised that you check with your GP before participating and notify staff on arrival.
A: An open session is the term we used for our supervised free play sessions. These are where you come in and use the facility and equipment without coaching. Kids from 7+ are fine to come on without a supervising adult. Sessions generally run for 1 or 2 hours during specific times. Classes are sessions that are delivered by a qualified coach, with structured content , goals and tuition for the session. Please refer to the information on the pages and sessions for more
A: Go through to the website, click the ‘Bookings / Timetable’ menu. Scroll down to the widget below the timetable, select the date required, then the class, go through to payment.
A. It is best to wear comfortable active clothes that you can freely move around in, that doesn't restrict flexibility and movement. Would be wise to remove jewelry before taking part and wear sensible flat trainers
A: The minimum age to participate is 4 years old. Kids under 7 need to be supervised by an adult/guardian who is over 16 years of age. "Little Ninjas" is a class for ages 4-6.
A: Yes, we have a spacious Front of House area with tables and chairs, sofas and benches. In the winter it can be cold, so bring a coat. We do have heaters and blankets for customers to help with this.
A: No, but it helps…. We do offer drop in sessions and PAYG classes, but memberships do give you a whole lot more for your buck. With added perks and extra open sessions/classes with huge savings if you come reguarly! Details on these can be found on our members/class packs page.
Generally we recommend common sense rule for what to wear here at Fluidity. The sport is famous for needing nothing more than a pair of trainers too take part in. You do not need to buy any fancy "grip" socks or trainers from us either. Footwear - Here at Fluidity, we would say to wear decent footwear (this excludes crocs, steel toe boots, stiletos , flip flops and anything else that sounds daft to wear freerunning.) Any general sports trainers are good for this. You can go barefoot on some of the apparatus, but bring shoes.
Clothing - You want clothing that is breathable , as we don't want you wripping your favourite expensive jeans. For this , we recommend shorts/joggers , shirt/vest and if its chilly, a hoody/jumper. You will warm up, so its good to have the option to cool off (or get warmer in the winter months) We will use this moment to recommend our "Fluidity T-shirts" , as they definitely help you look cooler whilst you practise. Jewellry/Accessories - We all like to look cool, but you should appreciate that for safety (and for the safety of your belongings) , it is best to remove any accessories that may break, be lost or restrict movement. We aren't going to spend hours fishing your Rolex out of the foam pit , or pay for the repair!
A: Like every sport there is an element of risk. Parkour/ freerunning helps an individual understand and manage risk in a way that lessens it from occurring. Through the practice of Parkour we develop awareness of our capabilities and the environment. Our parkour area is purposely set in a way that gives the practitioner a real feel experience and equipment that allows for progression.
A: We have a wide range of classes and session throughout the week. Starting from the age of 4 years old with our Little Ninja’s class, all the way through to Adult Sessions we can accommodate all ages and abilities.

A: No, not always. Sometimes it may be quiet and this won’t be the end of the world but generally we ask customers to book online before arrival. This helps us keep our capacity and ratios correct, while preventing disappointment in turning away customers.

Q: How do I book a birthday party?
Through the years, Parkour/Freerunning has been compared to Gymnastics greatly , and we as a community worldwide are working hard to dispel this incorrect comparison. In recent years, "Freestyle Gymnastics" or "FreeG" has come into being, to try and cater to a more "urban" market. As a result , there are plenty of problems with customers being falsely sold parkour classes by Gymnastic centers and coaches. We advise you look for the PKUK club mark, and 1st4Sport Parkour qualifications wherever you go.Although some techniques used in Parkour (especially the more acrobatic side) , are similar to those seen in Gymnastics, its important to note that the methodology, discipline and mental aspects are incredibly different. Parkour is an outdoor activitiy, with self development (physically and mentally) being its primary "goal" . It is generally non-competitive and communal. Respect is a fundamental part of Parkour. Respect for yourself, your environment , and those that are around you (public or practitioners).Gymnastics is generally geared towards performance and winning medals , with training geared at making athletes that accomplish these goals. We could talk on about this topic, but here is great article by our friends at Train Hard!
